The open concept main floor offers multiple walkouts to a very spacious patio that offers 5 Muskoka chairs, an outdoor dining set that can seat 8 people, a BBQ, and a fire pit! A large set of wooden stairs gently lower you down towards the waterfront where both a sandy shallow walkout as well as deep water off the dock await! The landing at the bottom of the stairs features plenty of outdoor seating to supervise swimmers and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The dock extends out off of the landing and provides space for boat parking, suntanning, and playing on the Floaty Mat! Fish directly off the dock!

The Cottage itself was perfectly suited for our family - well equipped and very comfortable. Tina and all the staff that we interacted with were friendly and helpful any time we reached out.
